It'll be Fun!

Chapter Thirteen

Valentina stretched her legs out, her sore muscles protesting after their night of activity. She felt Juliana's warm body next to her and she opened her eyes, wondering what time it was. The room was still dark so she closed them again as she felt Juliana stir. The brunette rolled towards her, slipping an arm possessively across her waist. Valentina turned, letting her lips brush against Juliana's face.

She should be exhausted. She was exhausted. But after nearly a year of neglect, her body was still making demands. Even though they'd been in bed for hours and Juliana had made good on her promise, Valentina had indeed come all night long, her body still wanted more.

Juliana's eyes opened and she smiled as Valentina's hand moved over her hip and along the curve of her waist.

Valentina smiled too. "It's like someone has taken over my body," she tried to explain.

"Yeah. It was me," Juliana said before suddenly sitting up. "Come on."

"Come on, where?"

"Bathroom break, then we have to go."

"Go? Go where?" Valentina asked confused.

Juliana stood beside the bed, completely naked. She tilted her head to Valentina. "It's almost dawn," she said as if that explained everything.

Valentina closed her eyes, refusing to move. And Juliana is back to being Juliana, she thought with a smile. "And that means what exactly?"

Juliana pulled the covers off her. "That means... skinny-dipping."

Valentina sat up, trying to reach for the covers. "Oh, no. No, no, no. I am not going skinny-dipping!"

"Come on, Val. It'll be fun!"

And that, of course, was all it took. She swung her legs out of bed, telling herself in vain that she would not, ever, go skinny-dipping. Apparently, that was about to change.

They put on the same clothes they'd worn the night before, neither of them bothering with underwear or bras. Valentina was shocked at the time. It was nearly five, but there was no sign of the impending dawn. Darkness still hovered over the beach.

Juliana took her hand and led her to the private pool. The few lights in the water were a mix of red and yellow, making the pool sensuously inviting. Nonetheless, she was still nervous.

As if sensing that, Juliana pulled her closer. "We're all alone."

The brush of her body dispersed some of her anxiety and Valentina savoured the gentle kiss Juliana gave her. Her pulse leapt to life at the contact, making her very aware that neither of them were wearing anything beneath their clothes. Juliana deepened the kiss, her tongue tracing Valentina's lower lip before slipping inside. Valentina's mouth opened, moaning into the kiss as Juliana slipped a thigh between her legs.

"Have you ever made love in the water?" Juliana whispered.

Had she? She had her own pool. She and Claudia had shared it, surely. But at that moment, she was having a hard time recalling Claudia's face, so it was impossible to remember if they'd ever made love in her pool.

"No. Am I about to?"

Juliana's answer was a sexy grin, and she stripped off her clothes. Valentina stood frozen in place as Juliana walked to the edge of the pool and dove in with barely a ripple.

God, she's got a great body.

And Valentina wanted it. Again.

She quickly took off her own clothing, tossing them on the lounge chair beside the towels they'd brought with them. Juliana was waiting for her, she dove in, although not quite as gracefully as Juliana. The water was cool but not overly so. She swam over to Juliana. She had to admit, it was indeed freeing to be in the water totally naked. It had a completely different feel than when wearing a suit.
